Baylor Heart Clinic

What Baylor Heart Clinic does

Baylor Scott & White Health (referenced in source data as Baylor Heart Clinic) is the largest not-for-profit healthcare system in Texas, operating a fully integrated delivery network across North and Central Texas. It serves patients through hospitals (including a dedicated network of Heart Hospitals in Dallas, Plano, Denton, Fort Worth, McKinney, and Waxahachie), clinics, emergency rooms, urgent care centers, surgery centers, imaging centers, rehabilitation facilities, and 24/7 virtual care channels. Patient-facing access is centralized through the MyBSWHealth portal and mobile app (iOS/Android), which support appointment scheduling, test results, provider messaging, bill pay, and an AI-assisted symptom checker; eVisit (~$40 per visit) and Video Visit are offered as on-demand telehealth add-ons.

The system's clinical footprint is anchored by several specialty programs that have established national and global medical firsts. These include the Simmons Transplant Institute (third-largest liver transplant program in the US, third-largest pancreas program in Texas, with transplant services spanning 35+ years), the world's largest uterus transplant program (the only US program delivering babies from both living and deceased donors), a cardiothoracic robotic surgery program that has performed more than 1,000 procedures (the largest in Texas), and the world's only center performing robotic-assisted surgery across four transplant types. Underpinning these clinical capabilities is the Baylor Scott & White Research Institute (BSWRI), with 400+ research staff, 200,000+ sq ft of research space, 1,400+ active protocols across 60+ specialties, 500+ peer-reviewed publications per year, and 500+ issued/pending patents spanning immunotherapy, genomics, cardiovascular disease, and medical devices. Specialized sub-units include the Warriors Research Institute (veteran and first responder mental health research) and the Texas Immuno-Oncology Biorepository.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service patient care billed to insurance providers and patients, with documented relationships with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, Medicaid, Medicare, UnitedHealthcare, and WellMed. Certain niche services — notably uterus transplants — are structured as private-pay multi-installment packages rather than typical insurance reimbursement. The system also operates its own Baylor Scott & White Health Plan and accepts both self-scheduled and walk-in patients across care settings.
